Influence of hemicellulose and lignin on the effect of drying of cellulose and the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis
DOI: 10.1039/D5GC02029H, Paper


Retention of hemicellulose and lignin mitigates drying-induced pore collapse, but lignin hinders enzymatic hydrolysis. Balancing their protective effects during drying with their impact on cellulose accessibility is essential.
